I'm Not Supposed to Ask "Why", but I Can't Help It
This has not been the best summer for me, my family, and my friends. And then today there was some more bad news, not life-threatening, but financially, socioeconomically, emotionally, and psychologically devastating. After a while of nothing but bad breaks, you start asking yourself, How much more of this can we all take? And yourself answers, I don't know. Then you ask your Higher Power, Please, please help us because you can't help yourself. And if you're lucky, He'll/She'll reply, Of course, my child, worry not.
But if you keep asking, and nothing happens, then what?

Last Medical Update--Maybe? Keep Your Fingers Crossed
Hooray! The hysterectomy was a success! Only trace amounts of cancer were in the uterus, and the lymph nodes were fine. Now all that's left is the...*da da daaah* the chemo. D has an appt Tuesday to have a port inserted into her chest; for those who don't know, that's a flexible plastic tube like an IV where the chemo is administered. It's easier on the body than having to have an IV put in the arm every few weeks for a period of months. Her chemo's supposed to last 4 months, so that'd be a lot of needles!
I'll be taking D for the port insertion, and an EKG beforehand.
Thursday she starts her chemo. The dr even told her when to expect hair loss; I told her, "Nothing like pinpointing it, hunh?" Fourteen to twenty-nine days after the first treatment. Time to buy scarves!
Keep holding those good thoughts, my friends. They've worked so well so far! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support and love. Hopefully life will settle down here, and I can visit everybody like I've intended to do for months.

Medical Report #489
Here is, hopefully, the last "bad news" post about my sister. And it's not really bad news per se, it's, well...well, you can decide for yourselves.
Most of you already know the biopsy showed endometrial cancer. Ok, that's shitty. But, she's having a total hysterectomy July 28, and then will start chemo at some point after that. After 4 months of chemo (every 3 weeks for 3 hours at a pop, followed by a "booster" shot the next day), she'll have 6 weeks of radiation every day except weekends. During all this, she'll be taking a chemo pill to augment the treatments; that will be until her "anniversary" date next year.
Nothing else has shown up, thankfully. She's in the mindframe of "Well, I've gotta do it so let's get crackin'." Which is good; it's how my whole family reacts to difficult situations. Break down first, then say, I've had enough of that, and move on.
My cataract surgery went really well. I'm still blurry, but that's normal. I can read more clearly now, and have "graduated" off one of my eyedrops today, as well as the shield. (Had to wear that any time I slept.) My next appt is Friday to check the pressure.
Being on the computer is still kind of tough for me b/c of the glare, the strain. So I'm here off and on. Thanks to everyone who's been sending happy thoughts and good wishes and prayers and all. They must've helped us all b/c we're doing better. :)
Take care, and I'll talk to y'all again soon!

More on My Sister
Updating again, better late than never...:/
The PET scan was negative for breast cancer! One hurdle down, thank you Jesus.
On the other hand, it showed a mass of some sort in her uterus. A biopsy at the GYN on Friday will determine what it actually is. Depending on the results, she'll have either a D & C or a hysterectomy.
Tomorrow, D has an appt with an oncologist to set up her chemo treatments (I presume). It's going to be even busier once that starts, since she'll probably have to go several times a week. So L and I'll be helping with the daycare more within the next month. Now that my nephew's new wife has moved to Knoxville, she'll be helping out as well, so maybe we can all rotate times. Doesn't matter, as long as it gets done.
So, more news after the weekend sometime. Thanks to all who've been praying, sending healing energies and good thoughts, and leaving messages. You're a great bunch of friends. ♥
